**** A Great Way to Start The Week ****

This Monday doesn't even compare with last Monday. If you missed my "Manic Monday" post from last week just scroll down for a recap. Today the "living was easy". After school the weather was so nice we went outside for a while. Daddy took the little ones for a ride(very slowly) on Land's motorcycle. Don't worry Land did a little riding too(not slowly) around the yard. We got out of his way!!
Then the little kiddos rolled around in the grass for a while.
Land decided to do a little tree climbing and of course....................

These two were not far behind.
Try as they may they could not get very high.
Clara Beth gave up and started examining the tree but of course the little daredevil continued to try and hoist himself high into the branches. They ran, giggled, rolled and played until it was time to come in for dinner. So wonderful when you already have something thawing from the freezer that you can just pop in the oven. That's just what we did tonight.
My Chicken Tetrazinni recipe makes two, so there's one to stock in the freezer. Thaw it out, warm it up and there you have it. Add a salad with homemade Creamy Italian Dressing, and Parmesan Garlic Bread and your meal is complete. (almost)
While the Chicken Tetrazinni was baking I had time to make Cinnamon and Raisin Rice Pudding. How cozy is that for a fall evening!!! The meal was delicious and the children(and parents) were happy!!! The sounds of laughter drifting through our house and yard tonight was music to my ears and a blessing to my heart. And to know that the love I feel for my family is only a shadow of what our Heavenly Father feels for us blesses me even more.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

1 John 3:1

Until next time......................

Enjoy the blessings of our Father,
